Police are investigating a series of burglaries and attempted burglaries that took place in two neighborhoods near Rosslyn over the weekend.
A male suspect is described as entering or trying to enter at least six homes and rummaging through belongings. Police say he stole a wallet and keys on one occasion, but in most cases, no items were reported stolen, according to preliminary incident reports.
